SUMMARY:NEH Summer Institute: Making Modernism: Literature\, Dance and Visual Culture in Chicago\, 1893-1955
DESCRIPTION:Making Modernism is a residential\, three-week NEH summer institute for twenty-five higher education faculty\, including advanced graduate students\, that will explore Chicago’s vital contribution to the modernist movement. Directed by Dr. Liesl Olson (Newberry Library) and Dr. Susan Manning (Northwestern University)\, the summer institute will offer an expansive look at creative expression in Chicago across the arts from the turn of the century through the aftermath of the Second World War. \n\n\n\nInstitute faculty will encourage 25 participants to engage actively and critically with the Newberry’s archival collections in order to understand the networks that contributed to the explosion of cultural styles associated with the modernist period. The institute aims to attract participants who will utilize the library’s archives to develop new course syllabi and for independent research. From the records of Chicago’s newspapers and journalists\, clubs and arts organizations\, dance and theatre companies\, famous and not-so-famous writers\, editors\, choreographers\, artists\, book designers\, and publishers\, the Newberry’s collections on this topic are unsurpassed. Particularly relevant collections include the records of the Arts Club of Chicago\, the Ann Barzel Dance Research Collection\, and the papers of Fanny Butcher\, Jack Conroy\, Floyd Dell\, the Dill Pickle Club\, Ben Hecht\, Ruth Page\, Eunice Tietjens\, and Mark Turbyfill\, among others. \n\n\n\nIn addition to working in the Newberry’s archives\, the institute will spend time on several site visits throughout Chicago\, including the Art Institute of Chicago\, the South Side Community Art Center\, Hull House\, the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection\, a bus tour of Bronzeville led by Lee Bey\, a walking tour of Towertown\, and a studio visit to Vershawn Sanders-Ward at Red Clay Dance Company.

SUMMARY:Rural Imaginations Conference
DESCRIPTION:With globalization primarily considered an urban phenomenon\, its impact on rural areas tends to be neglected. This 3-day conference comes out of the ERC-funded Rural Imaginations project (RURAL IMAGINATIONS)\, which looks at how the rural is imagined in contemporary film\, television and literature in the UK\, the US\, the Netherlands\, China and South Africa. The main question the project asks is to what extent the demonstrable impact of globalization on the rural appears in these imaginations.  \n\n\n\nThe conference is planned to explore the crucial role various social\, political\, economic and cultural imaginations play in determining what aspects of contemporary rural life do and do not become visible nationally and globally\, and how this affects the ways in which the rural is politically mobilized\, affectively encountered and artistically mediated. While the countries and media central to the Rural Imaginations project will be an important focus\, organizers also seek to extend the scope to other parts of the world.  \n\n\n\nRural communities from all over the world have claimed that their concerns – notably about globalization’s detrimental effects – are being ignored and have made themselves heard in protests\, elections and referendums. In the process\, they have often reaffirmed idealized imaginations of the rural and supported nationalist-populist agendas. At the same time\, the rural’s undeniable role in engendering climate emergencies and epidemics (in humans and non-humans) is putting pressure on outdated notions of the rural as an idyllic\, isolated space by demanding concerted action across urban-rural-wilderness borders and national ones. Asking why\, in many places\, people remain resistant to alternative imaginations of the countryside\, especially when it comes to imaginations that acknowledge the rural’s implicatedness in colonial and other violent histories\, is an important part of unearthing why so much about the reality of the rural is being denied\, and why certain rural actors\, not least non-human ones\, remain unseen and unheard.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop will bring together academic voices from different disciplines\, ranging from but not limited to cultural analysis\, literary studies\, anthropology\, geography\, philosophy and history. The organizers also seek to include artists and cultural producers working in the fields of literature\, television\, film and (visual) art. \n\n\n\nConfirmed speakers:  \n\n\n\nCorinne Fowler\, Professor of Postcolonial Literature at the University of Leicester. Corinne is the author of Green Unpleasant Land: Creative Responses to Rural England’s Colonial Connections (2020).  \n\n\n\nJennifer Wenzel\, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature and of Middle Eastern\, South Asian and African Studies at Columbia University. Jennifer is the author of The Disposition of Nature: Environmental Crisis and World Literature (2019).  \n\n\n\nMichael Woods\, Professor of Geography and Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University. Michael is the author of Rural (2011) and was for many years editor of the Journal for Rural Studies. Contact Info:  \n\n\n\nSee the call for papers \n\n\n\nDeadline for abstracts: February 28\, 2022
